Back by popular demand, the official River City tours return in March!
Operating on the first and last Saturday of each month, between March and November, the tour offers you the chance to walk through the streets of Shieldinch and get a look at the interior studio sets.
Four tours will run throughout the day, each lasting approximately 1.5 hours. Please note that these tours take place outwith the production schedule so there is no cast or filming taking place on set during the tour. However, this allows you to get a complete behind the scenes look at how your favourite soap is put together.
Bookings can be made from Thursday February 1st 2007 by calling the booking line on 0870 603 0304. The first tours kick off on March 3rd... reserve your place now!
